Son of a bitch.
Is it really possible to viscerally hate someone you've barely exchanged four words with? This will be a vitriolic rant; be warned.
I fucking hate, I mean HATE this guy in my English class. He never pays attention to what's going on in class, constantly wears earbuds and holds up the class when he's called on since the teacher has to reexplain everything to him. The first day of class he called himself an "artist" and yet from what he's shared in class, is a complete shit writer. He's the guy who is doing the large peace signs and "STOP ALL WAR" scrawls in chalk on the buildings downtown near campus. He goes on rants about how he hates Hillary Clinton, even going to a talk Chelsea did, heckling her and holding up a sign saying, "HILLARY IS PRO-WAR." When Mike Huckabee was in town, his campaign bus right across the street from my school, he ran outside and started screaming about Huckabee being a racist and a fascist and a couple dozen other words I'm sure he only vaguely knows the definitions of. When he ran out of vague pejoratives, he started going on about how Huckabee is at least better than John McCain. Today in class, same as usual, not paying attention, et cetera, general annoyances, but then someone asked about where to vote in today's primary and he starts going off about how he went to the polls and got a ballot then tore it up in front of the poll workers and threw it away and then started bleating, "Baraaaaaaack Obaaaaaaama." The guy is a fucking moron, thinking he's so nonconformist and independent a thinker and is one of those people who will accuse anyone with an opinion nearing popular thought to be uneducated and brainwashed, yet his own beliefs are such obvious repetitive talking points and prejudices. Everything about him makes me want to punch him in the face. After his Obama bleating, I said "What a fucking moron." to myself and I think a few people heard me since a couple turned and smiled. I am going to have a very difficult time being objective when we start workshopping our writing.
Fuck.

Be careful with trying to overwhelm him with logic; he can't see the forest through his reflection in the mirror. Instead, perhaps you ought to stand agape when he reads a piece he's written, then comment with all the mock sincerity you can muster -- dammit, man, I want an Oscar performance -- comment that you are floored by his "/SUB-i-til/ genus" [sic].
If he still doesn't get it, ask him his thoughts on Kirkegaard, then kick him in the balls.

If I could bring myself to actually engage him in conversation, I know I could run circles around him with actual facts and probably lead him to prove my own points, but as I said, ultimately futile.
I might just skip Kirkegaard and go straight for the nut stomp.
